  • 6 Whole Eggs
  • Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

  • Preheat oven – 350 and lightly spray a 6 cup muffin tin (I used Pam)
  • Cut each strip of ‘raw’ bacon in half – 1 strip lines 1 cup in ‘X’ (cross over) fashion
  • Break 1 egg into each cup
  • Add ground pepper to taste (Note: You can add 1/2 salt if you wish… also you can add some shredded cheese on top I just didn’t have any Poon approved left in the house so I omitted – but remember ‘if’ you add cheese it counts as a ‘snack’)
  • Bake for approx. 12-15 mins (depends on your oven and how you like your eggs i.e. if you like them hard eggs then bake longer)

Note: 1 Turkey Bacon Egg Cup is a serving for Phase 1

Braised Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage

Ingredients:

  • 1 red cabbage head
  • 2 tbs canola or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of vinegar or apple cider vinegar (I have used either one, both are good)
  • 4 tbsp of Xylitol or sweetener
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp half salt or more if you like
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

  • Cut the red cabbage into quarters and remove the core. 
  • Slice/shred into very thin slices.
  • Measure out 1/4 cup of vinegar and add the sweetener. 
  • Mix until dissolved.

Apparently, red cabbage is OK for phase 1 or 2.    It is good as a side dish to pork or chicken. Once it is cooled, I transfer them to 1 cup or 2 cup Ziploc containers and freeze them.  Really good.
